“Doing everything possible to save the festival, told “RG” the artistic Director of the Platonov festival Mikhail Bychkov, we consider a number of factors directly influencing his organization. It is a necessity of the abolition of the ban on cultural activities, the opening of borders and the resumption of international air traffic, possible changes in the exchange rate and the cost of tickets for planes and trains.
